I've run a couple films through my Leica now using a Nikon SB26 set on auto (front sensor) and all f-stops from f1.4-f32 are available on the LED screen. With its GN of 120 the usability of the stops is governed mainly by ISO and subject distance. I've seen SB24's (same functions basically) second-hand for USD$175 or so. They are a bit narrower than the Vivitar 283 and have power zoom from 24 (20 for the SB25-26) to 85. They also have a built-in +/- compensation function for fill-in.
